The big court case has finally arrived! We break down the oral arguments that were presented this week to the Supreme Court that will ultimately determine the fate of E-Rate. Will we see this essential program carry on or will the lower court's ruling strike down this key program? We discuss the arguments for and against with clips from the hearing this week. We also discuss the potential for student MFA and what the K12TechPro Community thinks will be the timeline for us to implement MFA on student accounts. Spoiler alert - it will take a while.

She has also worked with clients who have been impacted by trauma to clear the cellular memory of that trauma so that they can experience the freedom to create their best life. The losses of the past 3 years are real and Karen is passionate about leading women who have experienced losses in life rediscover, reinvent and reclaim their power though her Identity Makeover experience.

Get ready for some serious wisdom bombs, because this conversation is a game-changer! Dr. Vizor and I explore the beautiful concept that personal growth isn't a destination; it's a lifelong journey. She emphasizes the power of positive energy and intention, reminding us all that we have the ability to shape our reality through conscious choices and self-awareness. Gratitude is a big theme here, but not in the typical sense. Dr. Vizor teaches us that gratitude isn't just a daily task; it's about infusing ourselves with gratitude, making it a state of being. Can you imagine how that could transform your life? We talk about the importance of seeking support and guidance on this journey. Dr. Vizor encourages us to embrace the power of asking for help and the value of supportive communities. Remember, you don't have to go through this alone! There are people out there ready and willing to support you. Throughout our chat, Dr. Vizor emphasizes the significance of mindfulness. It's all about being intentional with our choices and actions, aligning them with our true desires and values. When we do that, we create a life that's not just fulfilling but also incredibly authentic. And hey, speaking of support, Dr. Vizor invites you to connect with her through her website, Karen Vizor's Stamp Store. There, you'll find a treasure trove of resources and insights on personal growth. Plus, if you're feeling inspired and ready to take action, I encourage you to book a call with me. Let's chat about your journey, your dreams, and how we can turn those dreams into your reality. Thank you for joining us on this transformative ride today.

LW - Man in the Arena by Richard Ngo

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Man in the Arena, published by Richard Ngo on June 26, 2023 on LessWrong. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds. Who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Today Kurt's out strafing, which his stream loves, but which takes a lot of effort. Girl on the left, red jacket, half a block away. He focuses his eyes on her and his viZor immediately starts filling with insults, pick-up lines, nonsensical keyboard-mashing, and whatever else the schizophrenic hivemind of his viewers feels like generating. As the votes pour in the lines are shuffling around too fast for him to read, but that's okay, she's still twenty meters away. Ten meters, and it's stabilized, one of them has clicked into top place; five meters, and he's figured out just the right intonation. “Hey bitch”, then a pause—gotta get the pause just right, so she has enough time to realize he's talking to her and look up, but not quite enough to process that anyone who's calling her a bitch in the middle of the street is not someone she wants to be listening to—“You got a license to be this ugly in public?” Boom! Perfect timing—he actually manages to get the shocked little o of her open mouth on camera, before she ducks her head away and hurries past him. The next line is popping up in his viZor, and he almost yells it out after her, but when you land a good first hit it's easy to ruin it with a subpar follow-up. Patience is what separates the best from the rest, he always tells people. So with a swipe of his fingers he replays the clip to his stream instead. “See?” he says. “For the new subs: that's what it looks like when you're really fucking good at what you do.” Were those tears in her eyes? Doesn't matter, let's roll with it. He subvocalizes a command and his viZor enhances that section, zooming in and adding a slight sheen to the corners of her eyes. It's a trick he figured out a while back—the livestream is only HD not ultraHD, so as long as you go back and edit before uploading the full video, you can get away with all sorts of stuff. He gloats for another block, then starts looking for another target. There's a big guy in the distance, but they're tricky, you never want to take the chance that they get physical. A waiter standing outside a cafe, taking a couple's order—oh, perfect. “Go to town”, he says, and his followers do their thing. The first few lines are terrible, but he slows down a bit, and eventually someone comes up with a banger about the three of them being served as his three-course meal. Along with the line, he does a little dance and then a hip-thrust in the woman's direction. And the stream. Goes. Fucking. Wild. He's so busy celebrating that one that he doesn't even notice the girl with a viZor of her own until she's only half a block in front of him. Shit. He'd dodge her if he could, but it's too late, everyone can tell he's seen her now. Shit. This one could be hard: she might be strafing too, or at least have a proximity sensor up to warn her that she's about to get streamed. If she starts hitting him, his viewers aren't gonna be quick enough to generate comebacks; he's on his own. That's okay, though. That's why they pay him the big bucks. He quickly pulls up a couple of his own lines that he's prepped for this type of situation. Nothing jumps out about her appearance: short, dark ...

And though some odd news about abysmal battery has made waves on the web, the overwhelming response to this device for everyone we've shown it to is massively positive, and we feel that it is the flagship Chromebook we've all been waiting for from Google – just from HP, instead. There's so much good going on with this device that it takes up the entire first half of the show. For the second half, we keep it in new ChromeOS hardware mode as we discuss the many new clues we've found for the upcoming detachable tablet Chromebooks that should branch off of the ‘Geralt' baseboard. One of those looks to be a successor to the pretty-awesome Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5, and if that device gets a follow-up with a handful of improvements, we're all in for a treat.

Jenn has been working on ChromeOS for over a decade and has a vast understanding of the OS so needless to say, it was an honor to have her on the show. For this episode, we decided to go with our "5 Questions" format that you might recall us using in our interview with Alex Kuscher back in March 2022. We dug into how ChromeOS design philosophies have changed over time, building for multiple form factors, cross-pollination with other Google teams, how they are thinking about pre-installed apps vs. those built by third-party developers, and how Jenn is thinking about the future of ChromeOS design. Jenn is so knowledgeable about the OS and how it has evolved so even if you aren't into UX or interested in OS design, I think you will still find this episode very fascinating.

In this episode you will hear my thoughts and advice on taking (and passing) the level 1 and level 2 Google educator exams in 2023. I take these exams at least once a year and I'm always happy to share my experience to help you pass these exams. I know that many of you are instructional coaches who are helping other teachers earn their certification. I hope this episode will provide useful information for you as well.
